Hi
I have some issues in the video recorded by GS2 device. It works fine and excellent when i play it in my GS2. I copied the mp4 files to my laptop and when i play it using VLC media player, it plays fine for few seconds and it freezes. After some time it plays back fine. The freezing part if puerly random Its happening for all the mp4 files that i copied over to my laptop.
I dont have any issues playing other mp4 files from my laptop using VLC player. Is anything/any settings needs to be changed?. Do i need to use different player?. Please help.
Thank you
that's your laptop codec issue
download CCCP and install it
VLC is not the greatest player, i use Zoom player, or the plain media player classic included with CCCP
VLC is one of the worst player ever (IMO)
[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S2 plays choppy videos?
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that I just got like 2 weeks ago.
I have played videos using the VEVO app, Youtube app, youtube on the web, and watching Netflix.
All the videos I play seem to play choppy videos. My friend said it might be my bandwidth. I tried on my wifi, and also when connected to HSPA+. But when I do speedtests on T-Mobile's network, I get as high as 21Mbps down. Videos still choppy at times.
Is it the phones screen, or TouchWiz UI, or the T-Mobile ROM itself? I want the videos to play clear like on my old Nexus One, ipad 2, and like on my PC.
See? The problem is you have an ipad, as soon as you get rid of it it will play videos like magic. Ipad sends signals in teh air!
Sarcasm
What?
I am watching videos from online. Not videos that Ive put on the devices.

All I did was added web interface and connected from phone it's working perfectly on my Galaxy S and absolutely love it!!!
Oooh wonder if I can stream DVDs to my phone? That would be epic!
What file formats work for you?
I spent hours trying to get the damn thing to work, port forwarding, rtsp commandline codes, telenet interface, web interface. HOURS and nothing streamed atall, not even music.
What exactly was it you did? mine gets stuck on buffering and no video or audio appears
Load vlc, web interface, open media file and it worked?

Well for me I opened VLC on my computer and added the web interface.
Then I opened VLC Stream & Convert on my phone, went to connect and clicked scan. It found my computer so I clicked connect then just clicked browse and picked any movie in different formats (wmv, mp4, mov, avi) and it played fine... Do you have a router? Maybe it's something to do with that, I don't know? Also the only firewall I have is just Mac OS X built in one
works perfectly.
Only 2 things to correct.
the apk will stay always on. Need a task killer do close the app.
and a strange error always showing:
INFO: a processing error occurred.
Tested in my lan and externally. working good.
Amazing app. now the only thing missing is a way to reproduce the my dreambox to vlc ( easy ) and then be able to open it with vlc in my galaxy...
Got it working, didn't realize it was something as simple as HAVING to use the in built browser... damn it lol
Few bugs, annoying bitrate limit, minor sound glitches, sometimes audio goes out of sync and audio wont play for some files
Otherwise a great app, wish VNC could resize subs though, causes some issues
For the audio sync problems (or no audio at all) I forced it to Stereo under rtsp video settings and now is playing all my files fine.

Hi if you hold long Play/Pause button this is equal to Stop and than "Back" button to exit the APP
Processing error bug me too.
I will like to use this app to stream my dreambox TV-outside home network. So i Have sugestion to have different profile to stream depending of internet speed.
kinder__bueno do you find how to watch dreambox stream on Galaxy S?
Excellent, dead easy to set up & works reasonably well. Watched a 90min film last night, the sound cut out for about 5 seconds 4 times during playback (no real biggie) Cant get sound from MKV files though, any ideas?
If the mkv have multichannel sound, you have to set channels to stereo in the settings to get sound on the stream to the galaxy s.
Why install this when you can just check "share" in windows media player and use built-in AllShare app? Or am I missing something?

Windows Media Player doesn't exist on a Linux system?
Wmp also doesn't stream many file types. Importantly not 1080p video.
Vlc encodes and streams everything
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I see in the market that there are 2 versions of "VLC Stream & Convert".
Can anybody tell me what exactly the difference is between them?
And is it possible to watch live Dreambox streams on my Galaxy S by using the VLC server and this app?
With Dogaplayer and a VLC server I can watch the current Dreambox stream on my Galaxy S over LAN, WAN and 3G/H. But I can't control it, the server only streams the Dreambox stream when it was started.
Very nice app
Minor problem (also have this with AllShare) is that I can't correct wrong aspect ratio, wide videos appear stretched (long faces).
Any way I can fix this besides re-encoding? The videos play fine (albeit letterboxed) in vlc and mplayer.
Whats the video quality like?
and does it give you a guide on setting up the web interface and all that?
works well with wifi at home but it doesnt when you try with 3g. It just stays with buffering message forever.

Quality is good. (Air video was better)
No guide needed, just follow the steps on the page posted a few posts up.
Got myself an ipad the other day and installed Air Video on it. WOW what a great program, its so easy to use and quality is insane!!! I hope something this good will be made for android very soon.
I'm not sure how much people have tried this out yet, but has anyone managed to successfully play videos via dlna (connected media tab in galleries)
eg. i can play an avi file perfectly locally on the device.
but everytime i try to stream it via windows media server/orb media server, i get the message 'Sorry this video cannot be played'
anyone else?
maybe something htc needs to fix?
Tried resetting your router? Maybe thats it.
I tried this and had mixed results: Tversity on win 7 would serve up the videos but none would play. Normal shared folder would let me play .mp4 but not .avi
Ooer!

I am trying to figure out how to enable a 2nd player in the unit, on first run it pops up and asks me which player to use, but only the supplied mplayer is available, if i could get it to see say rockplayer, then these issues would go away

I agree, I'm feeling this is another bug, mainly because the local video playback using htc video player (or whatever its called) is intermittently useless. sometimes it works, sometimes it plays the first five seconds and stops, sometimes not at all. All on the same video at different times.
vplayer works fine though..
also it seems unlikely that resetting the router will help, as airvideo via my iphone works fine, but i will try later on when at home again.
Haven't tried this yet, but have you checked that you have all the right codecs installed on your pc? I know windows media player has a hard time with certain codec's and file types where as vlc player doesn't, yet i don't know how this would sit when streaming video.

I think this is an issue with playback of videos on the phone, not on the computer...
If the file plays back fine on the computer, then it's not gonna be a codec problem (from the computer's side anyway).
Having this problem too. Is someone going to contact HTC?

I have very similar results. Using Windows 7's Media Player Streamer I can browse all my videos , music and photos , but none of these can be played (the server works ok,'coz I still can play videos and other media from other PC). I've some better results with XBMC's media stream (UPNP server) the photos works fine, but still can't play other media.
I can't manage to open the DHD's video, audio or images using DLNA connection.
At the beginning I think that the problem is with codecs, but since this media is opened with no problem once it copied on the phone I'm sure there is a problem with the player playing content over UPNP connection.
I had that kind of issues with an old ubuntu install, but all was fixed when installed VLC Player, so I hope someone can make a good port of VLC to android.
I've managed to playback mp3s and looked at pictures stored on my computer via my phone, so that part is OK, but videos are a no-go, which is a shame.
Very simple answer to this people.
The Desire HD and Z does not support "Play To" Receiver
Because of this AVI wont work.
Just check DLNA's website.
Compare it to bluetooth,
Both are very sensitive to compatibility and such
Never mind...

Well that's just stopped me buying the HTC Media Link, like htcsense.com they big this up in their adverts and then can't deliver.
Avi seems not to work, but I've managed to stream to my phone .mp4 files.

some avi files have actually started playing. most stop within a few seconds though.. if it can do this, why not the whole video?
Also i did check DLNAs website, and they've actually certified the Desire HD as a M-DMP device. I know they've only tested it with images (according to the certificate) however the description of a M-DMP device is:
These wireless devices find and play content on a digital media server (DMS) or mobile digital media server (M-DMS).
Examples: mobile phones and mobile media tablets designed for viewing multimedia content.
So it must be a HTC bug? (based on the fact that it DOES play the start of some files and that it is M-DMP certified..)
EDIT: well it must be a codec thing.. rockplayer plays all these files fine.. even locally the 'Videos/gallery' app can't play them all. Maybe HTC should use ffmpeg like rockplayer.. then it might just work
I spend many hours trying to figure this out , all but streaming video don't work ..any suggestions ?
Me too, but if only

Me too, but if only there was a way of making vplayer (since that plays everything so far) the default player when a video is clicked on from the connected media view
Same problem here.
1. Connected Home on Samsung Omnia 2(Win6.1/6.5) works
2. Doest work on Samsumg Galaxy Tab (froyo 2.2)
3. Doesnt work on Desire HD (pic, music, video)
So can I assume its something to do with Android?
same problems here with the HTC Media Link. far too many video files play ok on my htc desire from win7 pc using Skifta.
i've been attempting to find successful filetype/bitrate settings through freemake video converter (which allows hard-coding of subtitles) with little success when pushing to the media link.
Q. does anyone know a guaranteed filetype, bitrate, size which works through media link?
Q. are there any XDA devs working on a rom to fix this thing? excellent hardware in need of a little homebrew tweak if ever there was
It works fine on my DHD with Sabsa Prime V16 no issues at all. (Audio /Video/ Photos)
I currently set up my T-Mobile GS3 for dlna streaming to my ps3. Everything works fine except videos taken with the GS3. These videos, no matter what settings I use (low res or hi res) end up choppy. It kinda pauses every other second. I can stream movies put on the sd card from other sources just fine but the ones taken with the GS3 are choppy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi folks,
I'm stumped on this one, wondering if anyone has seen similar issues or has any ideas.
Basically, many videos will playback with extreme stutter over wireless. I've tried every video player I can think of and I've also tried alternate sources (NAS vs desktop share). The reason I know this is only a wireless problem is I have no issues with identical clips once I copy them to a USB and play them using an OTG cable.
I thought at first it was a question of bandwidth, but I'm on wireless N and the problem persists on even a 640x480 .avi file @ 1250kbps, which wireless N should be able to handle.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
TLDR: Many video clips stutter only when played from a wireless source.
Bump! Anyone have any ideas?
I'm experiencing this problem to when streaming videos from the interwebz, opening them in MXPlayer.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be caused by?
Bump numero dos!
weird, i can't play youtube videos, stutters, not sure if if its the device cuz i have fast wifi connection speed, 150Mbps connection it says on my 5ghz N router
im thinking its device wifi hardware issue and not my actual home wifi network
Bump again. Find it hard to imagine nobody else is having this problem.
The stuttering is due to Google's poor implementation of video playback in the new youtube app. Uninstall all updates and use the stock youtube app for a better playback experience sans stutter.

I don't have problems with Youtube though. Let me reiterate:
Using the same exact videos and apps:
Play a video saved to my NAS or a Windows share via wireless - playback that stutters
Play a video saved to a USB flash drive using USB OTG - playback is fine
Again, this happens even with a 1250kbps video over wireless-N, so I don't believe throughput is an issue. I get 35mbps up 21mbps down on speedtest.net over my Nexus 7's wireless.
Just a suggestion, but try your video on some other network to isolate to a Nexus problem or something else.

I tried today using two different WAPs and the problem still persists. Any other ideas?
The only thing I can think of is to try a system reset. Be careful to back up your music/pictures etc.
OK, new development on this. Not sure why I didn't think of trying this before, but I did some testing with my 2012 Nexus 7. Has the exact same problem as my 2013 Nexus 7.
So at this point I'd have to think this is Android related and not hardware or environment related. Some sort of issue with passing data between the wireless hardware and the rest of the OS.
Thoughts?
Bump!

Can you provide a little more information please? When you say you are playing it via network using the MX Player, are you supplying MX a stream url? or you simply browse to the LAN share via a file explorer and try to play the video directly?
Did you try changing the decoders in MX Player? HW/HW+/SW? HW+ works perfectly for me on Nexus 7 2013.
720p and 1080p worked just fine over network with my Nexus 7 (TP-Link 1043ND so nothing special, same old 2.4GHz N network) ..

I'm browsing to the LAN share using ES File Explorer and using that to play from the shares. Do you suggest something different?

I have had great success with DLNA media servers. I have PS3 Media Server (totally free) installed on my server pc. My Nexus 7 has BubbleUpnP which picks up PS3 media server flawlessly. BubbleUpNp is by far one of the best UpNp and DLNA client and server I have seen till date for android device (just my humble opinion). I have set MXPlayer as the default player in BubbleUpnP settings. I can browse and play anything, and its without a stutter.
Here are the details of my setup:
-- PS3 media server installed on
-- BubbleUpnP installed on Nexus 7
-- MX Player installed on Nexus 7
That's all it takes. I have taken this setup a step further for my own needs. I store movies on my Nexus 7 since I travel in the subway and I like to watch movies on the go. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and depending on where I am, I switch devices while watching movies. I would start a movie on one device and resume on the other, without actually having to store the video in both the devices. I tether a connection from my S3 and my Nexus 7 connects to the hotspot. I run BubbleUpnP on both Nexus and S3. The Nexus 7 acts as a server and sees the S3 as a client (renderer). I stream movies from my Nexus 7 to my S3. Tested with 720p movies and the result is flawless. No quality loss. Sometimes there is a momentary stutter but it goes away. It depends on how the video is ripped too.
You really don't need the S3 and N7 setup details. i just wanted to share it. Sorry for the long post. Hope it helps.
I have noticed this so far in vevo and twitch apps, I can't stream videos on the high video quality level. I get audio but no video. I have a nexus 10 as well, and using the same apps, same wifi connection they stream perfectly fine, so it isn't the Internet connection. Both apps are up to date as well. Any idea what is going on?
Stock rom, rooted on both the note 10.1 and nexus 10. Something with the Samsung rom maybe?
